Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effects of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal property and area
- Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt with substantial harm to openness and modest harm to character and appearance, and the private benefits to occupants do not clearly outweigh this harm to amount to very special circumstances.
